VB6.0 connection to access 2007 failed!

i tried connecting my database to vb 6 but it says that it does not recognize the database. I have a 2007 Office so when i tried to convert it to the lowest format it only offers Access 2000. What i know is VB6.0 needs a 97 access format to run... am i right? or is it that there is just something wrong with my jet engine. pls respond.
